I used fdisk somehow so it must have been using a different disk. (I might have used fdisk when I installed win2k or winxp.) I knew you could boot from the win98 cd though! Glad you got it working!

linney, Your solution didn't fix my problem, but got me going in the right direction! I tried opening the secpol.msc from the MMC and got a dll error. Now I know which dll is causing the problem. It said it can't find framedyn.dll. I tried registering framedyn.dll with this line... regsvr32...

You CAN boot from a win98 cd. I have done it a thousand times... You need to find where fdisk and format are on the cd before you try it and cd to those directories. Good luck! Murray's way will work to. I just like booting from the CD rather than creating a boot disk. It isn't necessary.

To keep this from happening again, I think you need to set the 120 GB drive as active, not the 15gb (if you did). As for fixing it. If you change the drive letter that XP and other programs were installed on, they MAY give you problems afterwards. They still might try to access the old drive...

Boot from the windows 98 cd (don't launch the win98 setup) and get to a command prompt with cd support. cd to \win98 and type in fdisk. Delete the xp partition and create a new primary partition. Reboot the machine when told to and boot from the win98 cd again. Go to the prompt with cd rom...

Have you been able to get anywhere with this problem? I have searched google and have found other people with the same problem.
